I don’t know who to trust anymore but this was definitely one of the most captivating books I’ve ever read.
I started crying at one point because the author did such a good job of conveying how frustrated Mara was and the whole situation was just impossible to deal with.
I still don’t know what tf is going on to be honest especially concerning the flashbacks??
Noah and Mara are very precious to me and I’m gonna start with the third book right away.

After devouring the first book in this series, I am disappointed to say that I barely enjoyed this installment. The only enjoyable part of this book was the twist at the end and at that, it didn't make up for the rest of the book. The build-up felt extremely slow for the sudden twist at the end, there was a lot of filler and knowledge that was provided that didn't feel cohesive to the plot or the progression of the plot. This book just felt like a filler book in the series to take up space until the ending. I don't know if I will be continuing with this series if the third book is anything like this one.
